Ingredients
Method
Directions
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes so the garlic flavor can develop.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes until deep golden and caramelized.
- Stir in the chili crisp just before serving and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or skillet/griddle over medium-high heat.
- Season the burger patties lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the patties until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, turning once or as needed. Cook time may vary depending on patty thickness, cooking method, and whether cooking from frozen.
- During the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of American cheese.
- Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this can squeeze out flavorful juices.
- Lightly toast the sesame buns until warm and lightly crisp. Toasting helps the buns hold up better and adds texture.
- Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Spread the garlic mayo on the toasted buns.
- Assemble the burgers with the patty on the bottom bun, then top with the chili-crisp onions. Add the top bun and serve right away.
